One of the most inexpensive ways to spruce up a bathroom \u2013 or any room for that matter \u2013 is to play with colors through painting. A lot of homeowners, however, are inexperienced when it comes to bathroom design. They find the color palette to be so extensive that they get intimidated by the mere sight of it. The great news is, all you need to do is to be introduced briefly to the color wheel, add a little creativity and you would be on your way to designing your dream bathroom.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Get Overwhelmed <\/strong><\/p>\n

Getting intimidated is the worst thing that can happen to you when you\u2019re out to design something. Bolder colors \u2013 keep in mind \u2013 are colors that are opposites on the color wheel (e.g. orange and purple).<\/p>\n

Soothing colors, on the other hand, are the monochromes or single colors. You can remove the orange in the purple-orange duo and replace it with lavender so that what you achieve are relative hues.<\/p>\n

Proper Color Placement <\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that you are more comfortable with the color wheel, you should determine how these colors will be placed in your home. Don\u2019t think that towels, area rugs and curtains are the only sources of color for your bathroom. These days, you can add colorful fixtures from the calmer pastels to the more energized bold hues.<\/p>\n

There are also elaborate brass and copper faucets. Don\u2019t stick to the traditional, you can go ahead and experiment. The most popular themes, these days, are those that have Mexican or Indian influences. Say no to rubber ducky and yes to area rugs and colorful bathroom walls.<\/p>\n

Pick Three Colors <\/strong><\/p>\n
As you become more and more comfortable in working with colors, you can now use the guiding principle in the creation of an awesome color scheme. Choose a neutral color, rich color and one accent color. Always think of the 70:20:10 ratios when distributing these colors respectively. This means that you use 70% of the lightest color, the second lightest should only be at 20% and the accent color should comprise but 10% of the entire color scheme.<\/p>\n
Fuse Two Neutrals, Contrast Dual Brights <\/strong><\/p>\n
The ratio of proportion is also applicable in marrying two neutral colors. This time, use 70:30 where the lighter color still has the bigger percentage. Don\u2019t forget to create a visual interest that includes interesting patterns. This could be as simple as a vein on the marble floor or a herringbone tile.<\/p>\n
For a more energetic bathroom setup, consider using some brighter colors like blue and orange. These two are complementary colors on the color wheel. They are invigorating to the eyes and they provide the necessary excitement for your unique bathroom.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re the traditional type who prefers a relaxing bathroom, then use the calmer colors such as whites, neutrals and pastels. Pick white as the main color for your tub, sink, trim and the central piece of furniture in this room.<\/p>\n
Embrace Dark Colors <\/strong><\/p>\n
A lot of homeowners don\u2019t just shy away from dark bathroom colors but they totally ignore them. Rich colors such as chocolate brown have the power to create a dramatic contrast especially in a space that\u2019s filled with white fixtures and trims. Add another dose of a rich hue like green and what you\u2019ve achieved is a more animated and contemporary look.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t get nervous in putting darker colors especially in small rooms. You may have a small bathroom but you can easily offset the compacting power of dark colors by using mirrored lamps or a mercury glass. Doing so will make the bathroom less claustrophobic.<\/p>\n
Go Green<\/strong><\/p>\n
Lastly, no modern home should say no to a greener space. Say yes to inspiring hues such as sea foam green or lemon yellow. Such colors could easily soften rough edges as well as solid, geometric shapes in your bathing space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
